Bollinger RD Extra Brut 2008

France / Champagne

Madame Bollinger's presence is still felt in the family home in Aÿ. Her discreet sophistication is evident in the refinement of every detail and the deceptively simple elegance of the house. Behind high garden walls, the sounds of the village seem to fade away; it is as if time stands still in the beauty and tranquility of this garden. But it is in the underground world of the house's cellars that the special importance of time at Champagne Bollinger becomes apparent . After the first fermentation in small stainless steel or wooden barrels, the wine is bottled in the spring and rests in the deep silence of the chalk cellars; Special Cuvée champagnes remain there for at least three years.
